After Death Fear

[Tocldja]

Hello, my name is Sam and I'm 15 years old. Happy new year!

I'm posting this because I hope to find people who can relate to my fear of after death. I don't fear dying itself, it's just that I don't know what comes afterward. People have all these theories of what it's like, what you'll see... But that if it's just nothing? What if we die and it's nothing but a black empty place with no sense of smell, touch, thought, sight, or hearing. It's just ...nothing. Sleep with no dreams. That's my biggest fear. Anyone else feel that way?

This is something nobody knows and can't know.  But thinking about it can be either philosophical or fun or terrifying depending on how we choose to approach it.  But I would say, if it's just sleep without dreams, that would be great, so what are you afraid of?

I used to have this fear, but for me I personally thought to myself..... "Come on, no meaning to life? No bigger picture? We are simply here because two atoms collided and had a Big Bang???" I Wasn't buying it.  I believe in a higher power without a doubt. Look at the sky, the stars, flowers, the feeling of love, embarrassment, laughing with others, tears, etc.  science can only tell us so much. And I'll remind you the Big Bang is simply a theory. Not a proven one. I'm not pushing you to find God, I personally don't like to push religion onto people, or push them against it. If it's for you then it's for you. But it's what helped me when I had a similar fear.
